We ( myself, wife, 18 year old son and girlfriend) stayed at Jose and Teresa's villa in Almogia for 2 weeks, (during the group stages of the world cup!!). From the initial enquiry, directions, to arrival, communication from Jose was friendly, prompt and excellent. We were met on arrival and their villa is in a quiet peaceful location and was spotlessly clean with everything you could want. Plenty of space inside and outside with lots of nice plants around the villa. The pool was cleaned every other day by Jose, but it didn't attract lots of insects or vegetation to clean out in between anyhow. Thankyou Jose for the fruit, we had fresh orange juice every day with breakfast and he told us to top up the fruit from his garden on the hillside which we did.
Almogia is about 30 minutes by car from Malaga, a nice drive up through the hills with nice scenery. Lots to see and do within an hours drive, recommend the caves at Nerja, Cablecar at Benalmadina, Cliffside path at Caminito del Ray if you dare, (and can work out the instructions for entry) Botanical gardens just outside Malaga, Cathedral, Alcazabar and the Picasso museum in Malaga. Or just drive in the mountains and past the resevoirs.
Thankyou Jose and Tereza, you are very nice people and if we stay in the Malaga region again we will contact you to see if you villa is available. Pity about Spain getting knocked out of the world cup early - come on England!!
